We've got a radiator we got ex-display that unfortunately was knocked in transit and has a small but deep scratch.

Vasco have sent me the touch up paint in a spray, but I'm not sure how to apply it? Any tips on how I should go about building up the paint? It's a fine textured white so shouldn't need keying around it, and is on a curve so should be fairly invisible once applied, but I'm not sure if I should just mask around the area first or...?



Ta!

Hey thanks to both of you - yes Vasco have provided me the touch up spray very kindly for free (probably because they feel bad about their crazy prices), so the paint is the 'correct' paint.

Biggest worry is dealing with that step, which a spray doesn't really do a good job of. So I assume decanting it, then brushing it in layers is probably the best idea.

Well, it's on hold for now, the spray they sent me is the wrong one and is some sort of clear lacquer?! Watch this slightly long space...
